Gregor Aichinger (Regensburg, 1564/65 – Augsburg, 20/21 January 1628) gained valuable experience during two distinct periods in Italy. This exposure positioned the Bavarian musician as the crucial link between the musical practices in Italy of that time and the musical culture on the other side of the Alps. Aichinger, being one of the very first German musicians to publish compositions with basso continuo, acquired this practice during his visits to Italy.
The Virginalia, consisting of twenty-five parts, begins with the introductory piece, Virgo, Dei mater pura, followed by pieces representing the Joyful Mysteries (from the second to the sixth). Subsequently, the Sorrowful Mysteries (from the seventh to the eleventh) are followed by the Glorious Mysteries (from the twelfth to the sixteenth). The last four pieces offer a contemplation of the Virgin Mary projected in a light and a dimension beyond the worldly, serving as the mediator between humanity and God.
The ensemble Concentus Vocum, directed by Michelangelo Gabbrielli, performs this collection dedicated to Maria. The ensemble has previously been featured in significant world premiere recordings, including the Armonia Ecclesiastica (1653) by the composer Sisto Reina (TC621801).
